Here's a quick update:
4th Tiger Claw's KungFuMagazine.com Championship is nearing the cap. We have only a hundred or so slots left for competitors.
KUNG FU TAI CHI 20 YEARS GALA BANQUET is almost sold out. I think there are less than 2 dozen seats still available.
We met with San Jose officials yesterday to discuss KUNG FU TAI CHI DAY. That's all coming together smoothly.
Good ol' Violet. She's our friend.Quote:

Only one month left before the 4th Annual Tiger Claw’s KungFuMagazine Championship (TCKFMC) taking place on June 9th at McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California. In conjunction with the celebration of the 20th anniversary of Kung Fu Tai Chi Magazine, this Championship is bigger than ever with 206 divisions including two new divisions of Duilian (weapon) Sparring Set. There will be hundreds of martial art experts, judges and champions attending these events including 38 masters/grandmasters. These programs will be one of the biggest events in the global martial art community in 2012.
The 2012 Championship encompasses Chinese Martial Arts Empty Hand forms, Chinese Martial Arts Weapon forms, Tai Chi, Wing Chun, Restricted-step Push Hands, Moving Push Hands, and special categories of Songshan Shaolin, WildAid, and others. Most of the categories have divisions by skill level and age group. Push Hands and Wing Chun Chi Shou are divided by gender and body weight, so are the special categories. 22 Grand Champion titles will be awarded to different age groups along with skill level. In the past, the TCKFMC Championship tournaments were very competitive. To encourage participation and promote martial arts, TCKFMC made the event fun, versatile and family-friendly. They will award all first-timers a trophy. According to TCKMC’s philosophy, the first-timer divisions are confidence building. They hope new participants will continue to compete in the future in the mainstream categories.
This tournament is hosted by Kung Fu Tai Chi Magazine (KFTCM) with sponsorship of California Bank & Trust, Five Branches University, International Wushu Sanshou Dao Association, Grandmaster Pan Qingfu, Grace Wu Kung Fu School, New York Pak Mei Kung Fu (Headmaster Williy Pang), One Work Place, CLF 1836, Dr. James K.

The Annual WildAid Tiger Claw Championship is a showcase benefit event at TCKFMC. All the proceeds from this event will be donated to WildAid’s continued efforts to save wild tigers and other endangered animals.
On the evening of Saturday, June 9th, KFTCM will host the KUNG FU TAI CHI 20 YEARS GALA BANQUET. All of the past cover masters are invited for a celebratory banquet and martial arts demonstration.
